564 ftll Mr. Locke moved that the Selectmen lay out as a Town way Patriots Drive from Meriam Street to Edgewood Road, a distance of approximately 1098 feet as shown on a plan entitled: "Plan of Patriots Drive, Lexington, Mass. Scale 1 inch = 40 ft. Feb. 27, 1941 John T. Cosgrove, Town Engineer", which plan is on file in the Town Clerk's Office in the Town Office Building. A bond in the sum of $47,800.000 issued by the American I'Town Tress. Employers Insurance Company, on behalf of James J. Carroll as bond Town Treasurer was received. Mr. Locke moved that the Selectmen approve the bond. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. A public official bond, issued by the American Employers' Town Clerk Insurance Company, in the amount of $1,000.00 on behalf of bond James J. Carroll as Town Clerk was received. Mr. Locke moved that the Selectmen approve the bond. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. A letter was received from Mr. Wrightington with refer- ence to Article 42 of the warrant, which is the article re- questing that the members of the Fire Department be placed under Civil Service. Mr. Wrightington said he believed the Re: Civil article should have called for the acceptance of Section 48 Service for instead of Section 4. The Chairman had asked him if the Fire Dept. article would include call men and Mr. Wrightington said ' Section 48 provides that its acceptance shall include regular members and may include call members. He felt that the vote must specifically provide for acceptance as to call members and he thought the article in the warrant should In- dicate that acceptance to both regular and call members was to be voted on. The Clerk reminded the Board that on February 24th Chief Taylor agreed with the Selectmen that it would be best to move for indefinite postponement on Article 42 and to have a committee appointed, under Article 2, to study the question of Civil Service for the Fire Department. A letter was received from Mr. Wrightington in response to the Board's question asking if it would be all right if a separate warrant for the annual election and another separate warrant for the annual Town Meeting were issued. Mr. Wright- ington said that it was his opinion that we could not have two warrants for the same meeting. He said if we had two separate warrants for the two parts of the meeting, the second part would be a separate meeting ---in other words, a special meeting and not the annual meeting. He said that occasionally there were statutes which required action at an annual town meeting. He said he saw no advantage in having the two separate warrants. ,
